The Corsair
Nine contestants put their quarterback skills to the test Oct. 9 during the annual Pensacola State College Quarterback Challenge down on the intramural track and field.
The first challenge, a distance toss for the most yards, was handed to Shane Dorlag who threw farther than 55 yards and scored 40 points.
Second and third place contestants, Joshua Smith and Michael Mann, also scored forty points in the first challenge.
The second challenge consisted of a sprint through a set of cones carrying a football.
Again, Dorlag snatched first place speeding 6.72 seconds through the course.
Rollout recognition, the third challenge, had four different targets set up with each having different point amounts; the closest being 10 points, then 20, 30, and 40 points.
“The rollout was the most difficult challenge,” stated Chase Kuhnhausen, who placed second-to-last, overall. “Throwing the ball on the run at a motionless target is not easy.”
Shane Dorlag grabbed first place for the third time by pounding the 30-point target with an accurate throw.
The final challenge, known as read and recognition, was a second target-practice game that involved something a little more stimulating: moving targets.
With a target pad-strapped to a golf cart, contestants had to hit one of three targets with only three chances each.
Second and third place winners, Smith and Mann, let their targets run away from them.
Shane Dorlag, who hit 60 points in the last round, came in first place overall and won the title to this year’s quarterback challenge.
